On the offchance anyone can help me easily: I'm looking for a fic I read once, Sherlock BBC, where Sherlock and John go to Scotland (maybe) because of an iheritance of Sherlock's. There's intrigue, mystery, kidnappings, and John being wooed by a local Scotsman and the threat of John losing Sherlock to another country. The John/OMC is pretty strong. I've tried googling Sherlock BBC fanfic inherits Scottish Castle, but end up with a lot of fics featuring werewolves, Scotland Yard, and Richard Castle crossovers.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Julie, I couldn't find anything on Ao3 fitting that description.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm reading such a rigourously spell-checked long fic. So almost every word is good (she slipped a Casitel in there somehow), but it's taunt and shuttered and causalities and brakes, etc. There's a spelling or capitalisation issue in just about every screen of words.
I took a break to read more Outlander, and it felt refreshing that the right words were in the right sentences.
But I need to know how the fic ends, and can't tear myself away.

Okay, I've made peace with a lot, but;
Castiel and Crowley moaned as they made-out, starting to feel hard bugles at their pants.
REALLY? That's two hellas of re-erection. At least.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

This makes me think of corn chips. [link] I'm pretty sure the author doesn't want me thinking about corn chips at that juncture. If one believes in authorial intent. Which, this far at least, I do.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Do they play Taps? Or would reveille be more appropriate given the circumstances?

I like that version better.

(cross-posted to Literary) Is there anyone out there who would be willing to beta-read a Code Name Verity fic I'm finishing up for Yuletide. Right now, I mostly need someone to help check character voices and to make sure I didn't muff any major bits of canon.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Anne, if you can't find anyone, I'd be willing. I've read it reasonably recently, though I can't swear I have the voices perfectly in my memory.
